Air-Powered Engraver Kits

Use these kits for everything from permanently marking materials to cleaning and finishing surfaces. They come with all you need to get started, including an engraver, four types of tips, and a tip holder. The engraver is more powerful than an electric option, so you can make the same markings in fewer passes and with less effort. A continuous dial lets you adjust the stroke to mark materials as soft as plastic and wood and as hard as metal. When swapping in another tip style, you must secure it in the engraver with the included tip holder. These engravers need lubrication to work properly.

Carbide Tip—The standard choice for engraving a variety of materials. Carbide tips are hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.

Steel Tip—Ideal for engraving soft materials, such as plastic, wood, and leather. Steel tips are less durable than carbide tips.

Angled-Chisel Tip—A great choice for cleaning weld beads.

Flat Tip—Grind these tips into a shape that works for your application.

Flat-Chisel Tip—Best for scaling and deburring.

Freehand permanent markings on a variety of materials. These engravers are often used to mark tools and equipment for easy identification and tracking. Adjust the stroke to mark materials as soft as plastic and wood and as hard as metal.

Stainless Steel Body—More durable than plastic to stand up to wear over time. These engravers last longer and won’t get damaged in your toolbox.

Carbide Tip—The standard choice for engraving a variety of materials. Carbide tips are hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.

Steel Tip—Ideal for engraving soft materials, such as plastic, wood, and leather. Steel tips are less durable than carbide tips.
